Agreed. Did he collaborate with Kenny G on this one? Yikes Will the Stingophiles encourage more of this?

Never-was and two-thumbs-Don (thanks Shat) are going to tell us how self righteous Sting is. Sting being pretentious isn't really an old, tired, boring, and overused cliche. Is it? Sorry he pained your lives children. I'm sure that his goal in life, other than making music that millions of fans enjoy for 3+ decades, was to annoy a couple of trolls. |

I like it but...Did he really just say " Invisible Son"? Just a tad-bit too self-referential there, Mr. Sting...  |

WTF was that bit at the end. I thought Bill was having one of his super-rare way off-tempo segues.
But it was still the same song.
Yuck.

Yes, Kudos for Sting for trying to shine a little light on that subject. I'm not sure if it had any positive results but at least he tried. |

I agree on your first two points, and your conclusions but Sting didn't write this song, a remarkable woman named Mercedes Sosa did. Her English/Spanish duet with Holly Near on Near's Singer in the Storm album blows this version out of the water. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes_Sosa(Note to self: no Holly Near on RP, must remedy!) |
